Toast of Taos - Holy Cross Hospital Foundation Executive Director, Sally Trigg, describes the art submitted to the Toast of Taos 2009 Poster Contest. Artists submissions doubled over 2008, according to Sally. "We had a wonderful array of media," she said, "spanning the spectrum of art from oils and pastel to mixed media and jewelry." The field was narrowed by the judges to a "top five" with Kit Lynch's "Harvest" placing first, Ann Cole's "Ready and Waiting" second,
Peggy McGivern's "Bounty" third,
Laurie Phelps' "Northern New Mexico Grape Harvest" fourth, and
Shelbee Mares'
"Harvest" fifth. All the submissions can be viewed online.
